Day 4

Common Blue Damselfly

For once, we seemed to time the weather perfectly — arriving in the sunshine and leaving just as the rain started. Although a little blustery we soon found ourselves walking in a sheltered, warm ride, teaming with damselflies.

A highlight of our visit included sitting on the bridge and by the riverbank, listening to the water flowing by and watching a pair of grey wagtail acrobatically hunting for bugs.
